2023 Tesla Model 3 Electric · LA23 VLK

The 2023 Tesla Model 3 is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 2026‑07‑09 at 149 376 miles passing with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is stable; every test since July 2024 has resulted in a pass, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of any fault entries across the entire history suggests the vehicle has been serviced regularly enough to avoid major failures. Mileage accumulation shows a rapid pattern for a three‑year‑old vehicle. Between June 2024 (44 518 miles) and December 2024 (69 766 miles) the odometer rose by roughly 25 000 miles in five months, a rate that repeats through mid‑2026. The test intervals of roughly six months have captured this steady climb, with only minor jumps (e.g., 97 643 to 120 910 miles in six months). Such high annual mileage—approaching 50 000 miles per year—implies intensive use and accelerated wear on consumables and drivetrain components, despite the clean MOT record. A buyer should inspect the high‑wear systems that are prone to degradation at elevated mileages. Check brake discs, pads, and caliper operation for glazing or uneven wear; examine tyre tread depth and balance for uneven wear patterns; assess suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play; and verify battery health and cooling‑system integrity, as Tesla’s electric drivetrain can be sensitive to thermal stress after extensive cycling. Visual inspection for corrosion on chassis components and exhaust mounting points is also advisable, given the high mileage exposure.
